Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 23, 1906.

Application filed ar 22, 1906. Serial No- 307,377-

of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in toys and the object of the invention is the provision of'a simple, durable, and inexpensive device which will form ameans of amusement and will be entertaining and instructive.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a toy which will require a certain amount of skill in the handling thereof and I will prove interesting to old as well as young people.

With these and other objects in view my invention comprises a handle, a ball rotatably mounted thereon, a frame secured to the handle, and a target mounted in the lforafine and adapted to be contacted by the My invention further consists of a to embodying certain other novel features 0 'construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as herein set forth.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the complete device. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same.

'In the drawings the numeral 1 designates the handle of the device, which is of convenient size and shape, and on the end of the handle is provided a pin or extension'2. Rotatably mounted upon this pin or pintleis a collar 3, formed with an annular groove 4 for the reception of the'cord. or band 5. This cord is preferably of elastic material and has The collar is securedupon the pintle by means of the peg 7 or any other suitable fastening.

Secured at right angles to the handle is the frame member 8, preferably of wire or other ,sstiff material, and secured to the pintle is a similar frame member 9. These members are formed with the complementary inturned ends 10, upon which is rotatably mounted a wheel 11 or other suitable target. Near their ends the members are formed with the complementary inturned loops or shoulders 12, having a small space therebetween to allow the passage of the cord.

As the ball is whirled the cord stretches until the ball is finally rotating within the open space at the end of the frame, and the ball will then be able to strike the target, and by forming the target with leaves 13 the target will be rotated by the impact of the ball. It will require some skill to keep the ball revolving through the open end portion of the frame, so that the device will prove instructive as well as entertaining.

From this description, taken in connection with the drawings, it will be readily seen that I have accomplished all the objects herein set forth and have provided a useful and desirable toy.

I claim 1. The combination with a handle and a ball rotatably mounted thereupon, of a frame, and a target carried thereby adapted to be rotated by impact of the ball.

2. The combination with a handle carrying a frame,'of a target in the frame, and a ball elastically secured to the handle adapted to contact the target.

3. The combination with a handle, of a frame secured thereto formed with a reduced neck portion near the end thereof, a target rotatably mounted in the end of the frame, and a ball secured to the handle adapted to contact the target.

4. The combination with a handle, a ball rotatably mounted on the handle, a framesecured to the handle formed with a portion reduced in width, of a target mounted in the frame adapted to be contacted by the ball.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EDWARD CHARLES REITER.
